If you sell stock and (during the following 180 days) invest the gain into a qualified opportunity fund, can you defer the taxes on that gain? That’s our topic for this article.
Internal Revenue Code
In short, the answer to the question at hand is yes. Here is some clarifying information straight from the IRS website:
“Under § 1400Z-2(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, you may elect to defer the tax on some or all of that gain. If, during the 180-day period, you had invested in one or more Qualified Opportunity Funds only an amount that was less than your entire gain, you may still elect to defer paying tax on part of the gain, up to the amount that you invested in that way.”
